    Swapping front 3rd via pulling hub and stub axle as a unit

    I'm not recommending anything. I'll let anyone reading this thread make an educated decision.

    Has anyone done an in-frame 3116 rebuild?

    Another reason to buy a truck with a C7 or 3126, you know how many miles and hours the engine has run.

    CAT 3116 A/C pully not really needed? LMTV FMTV

    Nope the belt would slip on the driving pulley with that little wrap around. It might be possible with the serpentine arrangement but not V belts. You also don't want to tension V belts on the back side.

    2009 General Dynamics M1161 ITV-LSV 4x4 Growler

    Looks like prices have come down but some of the most recent ones selling are junk. I would imagine finding parts would be difficult, if not extremely expensive.

    2005 vs 2006

    The early 2005s were WTEC III, later 2005s and up were WTEC IV. That's about the only difference. The C7 was used with the A1R in late 2004 and newer.

    A1R M1078 rear track bar setup is???

    The 2008+ rear axle is nothing dissimilar to the standard 1078 axle in terms of how it's mounted.

    Where to find Allison transmission specialist?

    I would say every LMTV I've driven has shifted "hard" however the term hard is relative. They certainly don't shift as smooth as a Cadillac.

    That's great one of my customers is having problems with his repower I will send him your way. I saw that truck at the auction I'm surprised the engine wasn't damaged. Wasn't the transmission busted in half?

    electric issue LMTV CAT C7

    There was a change in the valve body and wiring going from the WTEC III to WTEC IV. I'm sure it can be done but there is a more to it that what you think.

    electric issue LMTV CAT C7

    There is quite a bit of difference in the electrical system of the 3116 trucks and the C7 trucks. You will also need to use the C7 transmission, and WTECIV controller.

    Only the hubs will be pressurized on the front axle in the event of CTIS seal failure. The axle tube doesn't share the same reservoir as the axle hubs, unlike the rear.

    starter problem

    There is nothing in that starter that can't be repaired, replaced or rebuilt. I've had great success with local rebuilders working on those starters. A rebuild runs about $200-$400 depending on the condition of the unit.
